The Six One Five Collective is a collaborative effort and creative brainstorm of four artists that are steeped in the musical mix of Country, Americana, and Pop. Their sound is an undeniable wall of distinctive harmonies and voices, reminiscent of great American bands that have come before them: Fleetwood Mac, Little Big Town, Old Dominion, and more. Their show is an eclectic mix of original solo music, hit songs they’ve written for other artists, and high-energy songs that define the “Six One Five sound”.
The Six One Five Collective is a Grammy-nominated, award-winning group of artists that has blossomed into one of Music City’s best. They’ve toured around the world, opening for John Legend, India.Arie, John Hiatt, Kenny Chesney, Jon Pardi, and others. Their songs have been recorded by household names like Kelly Clarkson, George Strait, and Luke Bryan, and have been featured in TV shows such as Nashville, Parenthood, and Virgin River.

Each service includes an uplifting talk that touches on real-life experiences—like relationships, resilience, and personal growth—offering down-to-earth reflections to help you navigate life with clarity, compassion, and a sense of connection.

The healing portion of the service begins with a peaceful, guided meditation accompanied by live harp music, creating a calm and supportive space. Those who wish may then receive gentle, hands-on energy healing from certified Spiritualist healers while seated.

The service concludes with a demonstration of mediumship from the podium, where the medium shares messages from loved ones in spirit. These brief, heartfelt messages are intended to provide evidence of the continuity of life and offer comfort, healing, and connection.

In Pegasus Gallery and The Niche:

November 14, 2025 – January 23, 2026
Opening Reception on Tuesday November 18, 4:30-6:30pm at Pegasus Gallery.

Chip Rutan photographs the lower Connecticut River Valley and shoreline. His images depict locations he has known since childhood, and captures the momentary and transient nature of place, memory, and of home.

Photographs in Rutan’s “Space and Time” series were initially created with a Polaroid film camera between 2022 and 2023. The resulting images were digitally scanned, edited, and reprinted, while retaining the distinctly imperfect visual qualities of the Polaroid media. His human subjects were photographed from afar, so their likeness is impossible to discern, yet each composition contains a nostalgic and psychologically charged atmosphere of familiarity. Subjects walk along the beach, lounge, swim, and in many works, they appear to blur into the haze of dominant horizon lines. Rutan describes his photographs best as “ephemeral and dreamlike… portal(s) to a simpler time and place.”

Rutan lives in Old Saybrook, and has exhibited his photographs regionally and nationally. He holds an MFA in Visual Art from Vermont College of Fine Arts, an MBA from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (at Hartford), and a BA in Mathematics from the University of New Haven.
